Huge sand storm shrouds Baghdad in dust

A huge stand storm has shrouded Baghdad.

Residents have been forced to stay indoors and flights into and out of the airport have been cancelled. The storm is expected to last 72 hours.

Apart from causing problems for residents, there are also fears for talks between Iran and the leading six nuclear powers over Iran's nuclear programme. They're due to start on Wednesday, with Britain, China, France, Russia, the US and Germany hoping to curb Iran's uranium enrichment programme.
